The only part touching the road

Why your tyres matter

Your tyres are the only part of your Volkswagen in contact with the road, and they affect braking, grip, economy and noise. Worn or under-inflated tyres add metres to your stopping distance in the wet – and a tyre below the 1.6 mm legal limit means 3 penalty points and a fine of up to £2,500 per tyre.

Ready for a Perthshire winter

Winter and all-season tyres

Below 7°C a summer tyre’s rubber hardens and grip drops. Winter tyres – marked with the three-peak mountain snowflake – stay soft in the cold and clear snow and slush far better. For Perthshire roads, the A9 and ski trips to Glenshee, a set of winter or all-season tyres is worth considering.

Tyre care tips

  • Check pressures monthly

    Use the pressures on the sticker inside the fuel flap or door, and check when the tyres are cold.
  • Measure the tread

    The legal minimum is 1.6 mm, but grip drops noticeably below 3 mm – the tread-wear bars tell you when.
  • Look for damage

    Cuts, bulges or cracks in the sidewall mean the tyre should be replaced, whatever the tread.
  • Watch for uneven wear

    Wear on one edge usually means alignment is out; wear in the centre means over-inflation.
  • Mind the age

    Tyres over six years old can harden and crack even with plenty of tread left.
  • Rotate on an EV

    Heavier electric cars wear tyres faster – check them at every service.

FAQs

Tyres – your questions answered

How much do tyres cost at Camerons Volkswagen?

Prices depend on the size and brand your Volkswagen needs. Ask for a written quote – we match any like-for-like written quote from a garage within 5 miles, and 0% APR finance is available.

What is the legal tyre tread depth in the UK?

The legal minimum is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. We recommend replacing tyres at 3 mm, as wet grip falls away quickly below that.

Can you repair a puncture?

Often, yes. Punctures in the central tread area can usually be repaired to British Standard. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder means the tyre must be replaced.

Do I need Volkswagen-approved tyres?

Approved tyres are tested for your model and keep it handling as designed. We recommend them, but can supply other sizes and brands if you prefer.

Do I need winter tyres in Scotland?

They are not a legal requirement, but below 7°C they give noticeably better grip and shorter stopping distances. For Perthshire winters, winter or all-season tyres are a sensible choice.

How do I know what tyre size I need?

The size is on the sidewall, for example 205/55 R16. Give us your registration and we will check the correct size, speed and load rating for your car.

What does the TPMS warning light mean?

The tyre pressure monitoring light means one or more tyres is under-inflated or a sensor has a fault. Check the pressures first; if the light stays on, book a check.

Can I wait while my tyres are fitted?

Yes. Most tyre fits take under an hour. You can wait in our lounge with free Wi-Fi, or arrange a courtesy car or collection and delivery when you book.
